Its going to need new axles if you do any type of offroad driving with the D30/D35. ;)

[camo89]

ya i have a rusty 1986 j10 that will cough up ita 44/20

 

i built a 91 xj some years back with a 4.5 rubicon express lift and 33

 

with this rig i fully plan to lower it about 2" in the back and 6" in the front and build it up for the wife to drive

 

my typical wheeler is a 1989 toyota

sas 37s 5.29s locked front and rear

It needs a bunch of work before it is road worthy. It's still a good foundation you just need to remove some parts before the building begins.

 

:popcorn:
